Essential Himachal Travel Tips
1. Dress in warm layers: Mountain temperatures in Kasol, Manali, and Dharamshala drop rapidly after sunset. 2. Pro Tip for Kullu Rafting: Keep a small backpack with dry clothes handy in the bus, as your main luggage stays onboard until Manali check-in. 3. Carry valid Govt Photo ID: Required for hotel check-ins and Rohtang/Solang transit.
